The course
FR 151 meets for two 50 minute classes on Monday/Wednesday or on Tuesday/Thursday with an instructor and for
one 50 minute laboratory and one 50 minute tutorial with a teaching assistant. Preliminary chapters and chapters
1-4 of Deux Mondes are covered in FR 151.
The instructor supports your efforts to acquire vocabulary, understand structures and communicative strategies,
improve listening comprehension and appreciate cultural similarities and differences. The classes emphasise how
to learn the language more effectively by acquiring strategies for understanding spoken and written French, for
deciphering vocabulary and demystifying structure. Students participate actively in various classroom activities:
group activities, interaction with the instructor and with fellow classmates.
Participation: 15% (class 5%, lab 5%, tutorial 5%)
Attendance is compulsory and is taken in class. Consideration is given to being prepared for class, interacting en
français with the instructor and fellow students, asking and answering questions, volunteering, and engaging in
active learning.
Tutorials
Students will meet for a weekly tutorial where they can practise and improve their communication skills in a
smaller group. This is an efficient way to get a lot of speaking practice and to receive instant feedback and tips
from the instructor.
The labs
The labs are held weekly in ML 109 or 113 where you practice what you have learned in class through web, audio
and video activities. You have to bring the lab manual (workbook) for the listening exercises. The lab assistant
responds to questions, gives feedback and coaches you on pronunciation, comprehension and writing. Lab work
will be evaluated through a final comprehension test worth 10%.
The test will take place in the lab and will cover lab exercises in Étapes 1 and 2, and chapters 1-3.
Important things to know:
Policy regarding tests: Students may make-up written tests only if they inform the instructor in advance that they
will be absent and for what reason or produce a medical certificate or other supporting documentation for their
absence. For written tests, you may attend other sections if you cannot attend your section on test day. To be included
in the final mark, all course work must be completed by the last day of term. See course plan and test schedule.
The final examination period will be held from December 5 to 20, 2013. Student travel plans are not acceptable
grounds for granting an alternative final examination time. The examination schedule will be posted online by
week 6.

Auditors:
Auditors will only be permitted in classes that are not at maximum enrolment. Those seeking AUDIT standing
must attend 80% of classes and may write tests with the permission of the instructor. Auditors may participate in
group or partner activities if prepared and if numbers warrant. Auditors are asked to limit questions to the time
outside of class.
*****
Level of competence:
The Department reserves the right to refuse admission to, and/or credit for, any of its language courses to a student who has,
in the view of the Department, a level of competence unsuited to that course.
Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of
Waterloo are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.
Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity, to avoid committing academic
offences, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an
offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group
work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course professor, academic advisor, or the Undergraduate
Associate Dean. When misconduct has been found to have occurred, disciplinary penalties will be imposed under
Policy 71 – Student Discipline. For information on categories of offenses and types of penalties, students should
refer to Policy 71 - Student Discipline, http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policy-71.
Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair
or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70 - Student Petitions and Grievances,
Section 4, http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-proceduresguidelines/policy-70. In addition, consult
http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/student-grievances-faculty-artsprocesses for the Faculty of Arts’ grievance processes.
Appeals: A student may appeal the finding and/or penalty in a decision made under Policy 70 - Student
Petitions and Grievances (other than regarding a petition) or Policy 71 - Student Discipline if a ground for an
appeal can be established. Read Policy 72 - Student Appeals,
http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policy-72.

Accommodation for Students with Disabilities:
Note forstudents with disabilities: The AccessAbility Services (AS) Office, located in Needles Hall, Room 1132,
collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities
without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen
the impact of your disability, please register with the AS Office at the beginning of each academic term.
